I just finished assembling it and took it out for a little ride. Its smooooooth and has a ton of pop.

Les Spécifiques

• ELEMENT MIKE V AVIARY DECK – 7.88 width – On sale, and its a helium deck, so its lighter and stronger.
• TENSOR RODNEY MULLEN CUSTOM MIDS TRUCKS – Mullen is my all-time favorite skateboarder and he personally designed these trucks.
• SPITFIRE OLSON LIFERS WHEELS – 57mm, 97a durometer, for a smoother ride over crappy asphalt.
• FKD SAWBLADE SPEED BEARINGS – ABEC 5, IMHO the best balance between speed and durability. These ones have a clear shield so you can see inside, with a red spacer for a little extra bling.
• BLACK MAGIC GRIP TAPE – of course!
• MYSTERY RISERS and hardware – No real difference in performence, but they are white and complemented the trucks nicely.

Now to go work of those extra pounds!
